  • CHASE Residents' Association
    CHASE Residents’ Association Via: www.chaseresidents.org.uk CHASE Residents’ Association submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on proposed changes to ward boundaries within the London Borough of Croydon We wish to draw the Commission’s attention to difficulties that would be posed by putting into practice draft recommendations for changes to ward boundaries within the Addiscombe area of Croydon Central. We propose an alternative re-drawing of boundaries, a position we believe is in keeping with the views of a number of neighbouring residents’ associations and individuals. Established communities The notional boundaries of the “community” of Addiscombe are distinct from the present electoral ward of Addiscombe in that the community includes a sizeable part of the present Ashburton Ward. Addiscombe Road forms the southern boundary, in both electoral and community terms, for both wards. Residents of Fairfield Ward to the south do not identify with the community of Addiscombe. Within the current electoral wards of Addiscombe and Ashburton there is a more distinct community-based division between: • The western end, where residents living near East Croydon Station gravitate towards shops, schools, churches and facilities in the area between Cherry Orchard Road and Clyde Road. • The eastern side, where the Lower Addiscombe Road is the main district centre serving a community extending from east of Ashburton Park to Elgin Road to the west. Difficulties presented by the proposed boundaries Creating the proposed new wards of Addiscombe West & Park Hill and Addiscombe East by imposing an arbitrary border between Addiscombe/Ashburton and extending these wards south of Addiscombe Road would include areas with no natural affinity with Addiscombe.

We are a registered Residents’ Association with Croydon Council Local Planning Authority (LPA). On behalf of our members and local residents we object to the above-mentioned planning application development proposal on the following grounds. We understand the need for additional housing but take the view that new housing developments must meet the current and emerging planning policies to ensure future occupants have acceptable living standards for the life of the development and that proposed developments respect the character of the area for which it is destined. Also, that proposed developments have the appropriate Housing and Residential Densities which are supported by the current and proposed local Public Transport and other public service Infrastructure to support the additional future occupants of the proposed development.

The 2017 polling district review designated Ashburton Hall as the polling place for polling district ADE3.

Re: Policies SP7, DM27 and Alterations to the Green Grid. The Executive Committee representing 397 plot holders, 681 Shareholders (331 of whom are plot holders) and 140 Green Finger Members of the Addiscombe, Woodside & Shirley Leisure Gardens, Ltd (AWSLG), object to the proposal of de-designation of Metropolitan Open Land (MOL), and the re-designation to Local Green Space at our allotment site, as this does not comply with policies SP7, DM27, and the protection of the green grid. We support the special protection given to Allotments both within the Croydon Local Plan and the London Plan. However it is our belief that the land at the Addiscombe, Woodside and Shirley Leisure Gardens does meet the criteria for Metropolitan Open Land status as defined in the London Plan: MOL should satisfy at least one of the following criteria: a) It contributes to the physical structure of London by being clearly distinguishable from the built up area. b) It includes open air facilities, especially for leisure, recreation sport, the arts and cultural activities, which serve the whole or significant parts of London. c) It contains features or landscapes (historical, recreational, biodiversity) of either national or metropolitan value.

Description Addiscombe Recreation Ground is a small recreation ground dating from 1911 largely laid to grass and completely surrounded by houses. The land was acquired in 1905 by Croydon Board of Health under the 1875 Public Health Act and was previously farmland, like much of Croydon, until development for housing changed the landscape dramatically from the early twentieth century. The site is shown on Thomas Bainbridge's Map of Croydon of 1800 as two fields belonging to A Adair Esq. It was at one time part of the Ashburton Estate, the country home of the Barings, who were heirs of the Barony of Ashburton. The estate mansion had been situated at the corner of Addiscombe Road and Northampton Road, and the estate farmhouse was also on Addiscombe Road with a farmtrack alongside it known as Love Lane.
